Private coaching focuses on understanding and utilizing one's strengths in order to find the most fulfilling career for you, focus where you will get the best results, and become empowered through understanding all that you have to offer, whether it's in the workplace or in personal relationships.

Positive Psychology

Techniques and Tools from Positive Psychology are utilized to help change your cognition to one of opportunity and abundance, where the glass is always half full. Learning how to appreciate yourself, feel good about yourself and what you have to offer, change your automatic cognitions to positive, hopeful thoughts, positive psychology coaching will improve your quality of life, make you a happier, more confident person, and improve your relationships with others.

Confidence

People have told you that "You should be more confident." You know that confidence will take you further in your career. You've heard the research, that confidence can matter more than competence! But you have no idea how you can magically become confident.

1:1 coaching will focus on tools and techniques to help you become an assured, confident person who can walk into any room and draw people to you. We'll go through body language, self concept, self esteem and cognition shifting activities, and ways to productively engage others.

Soft Skills

You feel more comfortable in front of a computer or a book than in front of other people. You dread the word "networking." You hate interviewing.

It doesn't matter what your career or profession, soft skills are critical to success and highly sought out by employers. We will work together on communication, alleviating anxieties around interacting with other people, social skills, adaptability, and composure.

Public Speaking

You're terrified of giving a presentation. Or break into a sweat at the thought of being in front of an audience.

The good news is that public speaking is a skill that can be taught.

Whether you are running for political office or just want to be able to give a or client presentation without having a heart attack, we will work together on all of the elements necessary to being a terrific public speaker, explore tools to calm anxiety and boost confidence, and dive into the three necessary elements of public speaking: Vocal, Visual, and Verbal.
